Asta Lynge: Capacity

A 30 meter sofa made for Asta Lynges exhibition Capacity at @overbeckgesellschaft Kunstverein Lübeck 2025. We contributed with the shape and technical drawings, CNC cutting files, assembly and logistics

Realized with the great support of @spektadk and their CNC expertise. Shape and technical drawings were developed in close collaboration with Asta.

About: Capacity invites the audience to consider their position in relation to these now function-less objects: the sofa stripped to its frame, a guitar without any sound, pearls that cannot be worn. Symbols of comfort, ease and value are revealed for the fragile emblems of power that they have always been, no longer legitimized by use. The objects we encounter in this exhibition exist in a suspended state, held somewhere between being made and being taken apart. Lynge draws attention to the process of creation itself, suggesting we engage with these objects as works in progress, rather than a finished product. They resist completion—not out of failure, but as a deliberate act that reflects the paradoxical state of a world that keeps on producing to maintain the illusion of progress, even as it strains and fractures under all this weight.
